6:06 pm
that's true. joe vazquez, cbs 5. arson investigators think whoever torched an east bay apartment overnight may have had murderous intentions. the manager of the dixon lane apartments in hayward said she woke up around 4 a.m. to the sound of breaking glass then saw a fireball erupt in her living room. firefighters think someone hurled a molotov cocktail through the front window of her unit. >> when i got my front door, the manager next door to me was standing in her front door yelling for help with flames coming out of her apartment. >> the apartment was gutted but no one was hurt. so far, no word on who may have done it or why. checking other bay area headlines, the man's recovering after his car plummeted 300 feet over a cliff in daly city. it happened about 4:30 this morning along highway 35 near olympic way. rescue crews used a fire truck and winch to carry the man up to the road before taking him to the hospital. near mount hamilton this afternoon a truck went over a guardrail killing at least one

mass so it will be a very chilly day for your wednesday. right now 55 in redwood city. san jose at 54. what a difference a day makes. these temperatures down 5 to 10 degrees from yesterday. tonight not as cold due to the blanket of cloud cover into the 40s across the board. all right. here you have it, futurecast. when you will hear the raindrops on your rooftops? 9:00 on santa rosa. midnight throughout the central bay making tracks toward san jose, campbell overnight. and then there's your wednesday. a raw cool breezy day and then we're talking about a hit-and- miss scattered rain shower and that's about. meanwhile, your temperatures tomorrow only in the 50s from the coast to the santa clara valley, 53 free. outside number 56, 57 degrees to the east and north. and this indeed is your pinpoint forecast. thank you. you know, there's weather, and then there's the gravity of the sun and the moon. the celestial alignment that's

6:22 pm
not unlike salt on an open wound. so the california king tide initiative wants as many people as possible a volunteer army out the next couple of days to take pictures at high tide late in the morning. then you will see what every day may look like in the future. like our highest high tide these days. want to know where the tide is going to be highest this week? you want to know where to sent those pictures to the group that wants them? go to cbssf.com, hit "links and numbers," and we will link you up. in san francisco, mike sugerman, cbs 5. neighbors are getting the chance tonight to sound off against a plan to reopen a long closed school in burlingame. some are worried it will create a traffic nightmare along the narrow and winding roads. cbs 5 reporter don ford talked to people more than willing to point out some of the problems. >> reporter: it's been over three decades since hoover elementary was used as a public school. and now plans to reopen it in
6:23 pm
this tiny neighborhood has neighbors worried. christine fitzgerald says she was told to expect over 200 cars a day dropping off kids. >> i think with the amount of cars that will be coming in and out of here, it's inevitable that an accident will occur and we're concerned it could be a child being hit by a car. >> reporter: the streets are narrow, many with no sidewalks at all. and one approach even has a one lane bridge. charles forrester is a maine burlingame housing improvement -- is a member of the burlingame housing improvement board and says this upper class neighborhood will be gridlocked. >> an suv factory showroom as far as you can see. every manner of four wheeled vehicle stopped dead waiting to drop the kids off to school. >> reporter: once through, the small neighborhood streets, however, plans call for parents to drive this up street. then into a roundabout and return back downhill. the plan does call to widen the
6:24 pm
streets but neighbor liz is skeptical. >> garbage day, mondays. got those bins on either sided. no way even with the bins you can't get by. >> reporter: the good news, re- opening of hoover next year will relieve overcrowding at nearby franklin elementary school but until then residents hope new plans will be considered. >> it could also be a tremendous asset to the community. i just hope that they can find a way for it to work properly. >> reporter: burlingame school district said there was no one available to comment on the controversial traffic plan. too busy preparing for the 7 p.m. school board meeting tonight a meeting at which you can bet there's going to be a lot of comment. in burlingame, don ford cbs 5. coming up in our next half hour, the mother of all california tax laws may be heading for a makeover. but after 34 years, prop 13 is suddenly back on the table. what changes could mean for your property taxes. a new report finds california state workers are among the highest paid in the country. who those employees are and how much they're making.
6:25 pm
>> plus, more on the developing story in oregon. a shooting in a shopping mall. an update after the break. ,, ,,,,,, look, if you have copd like me,
6:26 pm
you know it can be hard to breathe, and how that feels. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open for 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives,
6:27 pm
vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. (blowing sound) ask your doctor about spiriva. follow developments in a dey
6:28 pm
shooting at an oregon mall. outh of more on our top story tonight. we continue to follow developments in a deadly shooting at an oregon mall. police in clackamas south of portland say at least three people are now dead including the gunman. a fourth person was badly hurt. this is live pictures from the scene. it all started near the clackamas town center food court around 3:30 this afternoon. witnesses described people running, screaming and trying to hide. >> a lot of people diving. i'm hoping that they weren't getting shot. but there was a lot of people falling and hiding, hiding behind things and so -- a lot of people running, a lot of screaming. we actually hid behind a garbage can, me and my three friends, and then they -- two of them were saying that we should stay because they didn't know where they were firing. but i just stood there and started running so... >> again, at least three people
6:29 pm
now reported killed at a mall shooting in oregon. another victim taken to the hospital with what's described as traumatic injuries. police teams are sweeping the mall checking for other victims. we're following this story and we'll keep you updated as new information comes in. the single most important measure ever passed by california voters, to some it is sacrosanct. but others say it is time to revisit prop 13. at 34 years old it holds property taxes in place making it harder for legislators to raise other taxes and in a state notorious for high taxes, a lot of people like that. but as cbs 5 political reporter grace lee explains, more and more californians think the aging law needs some work. grace. >> reporter: you know, there are billions of dollars at stake here so a lot of people are weighing in on this including tom ammiano. he wants to change the law to bring in more money for schools and public safety.
6:30 pm
but already, he is getting flak for it. in california, residential and commercial owners are supposed to be treated equally under proposition 13, which passed by voters in 1978. for homeowners, it's straightforward. when you buy a house, your property taxes are based on your purchasing price. your property tax does not change until it's sold to the next owner. a transfer. commercial properties, it was designed to be the same but instead business don't transfer land. they transfer stock which excludes them from getting reassessed so some businesses get to pay a lower property tax. >> so some of them are still being assessed say from 1990 evaluations and their property taxes haven't gone up and it costs the state millions. >> this is the most dramatic view of it. in 1978, 60% of all property taxes in the state were paid by
6:31 pm
commercial property owner. 40% by residential. it's now flipped. we residential own railroads paying 60% and the commercial 40. and so we're subsidizing very large corporations who are not paying their fair share. >> reporter: assemblyman ammiano tried to close this loophole for commercial properties last year and failed. this year, he thinks he has a better shot because the democrats have a supermajority. but now the fight has become personal even amongst fellow democrats. in a recent "san francisco chronicle" article, former mayor and speaker of the house willie brown said, quote, if i were in charge, i wouldn't have ammiano or anyone else with a long history of supporting tax hikes carry the bill. i'd pick the most conservative democrat i could find and have him do the job." >> i challenge willie brown to -- i don't think he ever got over that. so i found the remark to be a little snide. >> reporter: you might remember those two men they ran against each other for mayor of san
6:32 pm
francisco in 1999. clearly, they are still working it out. so what are businesses at? a group that opposes new taxes says businesses are already paying their fair share and he said, unless businesses are trying to hide a change of ownership, they believe the law should stay as it is. we're going to be watching this closely because a lot of people are concerned if they change anything with prop 13. >> it is going to be a fight. thank you, grace. and then there are california state workers. a new report details just who makes what. cbs news reporter randy paige takes a look at the numbers. >> reporter: california's been described as the golden state particularly for some state employees. according to this bloomberg news story which compares compensation for california state employees to their counterparts in the nation's 12 most populous states california ranks number one with the average pay for state workers at more than $60,000 a year. new york ranks number 2 at
6:33 pm
$56,000. and new jersey right behind at $54,000. then there are the extreme examples. bloomberg reports one prison psychiatrist made more than $800,000 last year and a chp division chief retired with more than $483,000 with salary, pension and other exceptions. >> that's a lot. >> reporter: reaction on the street today was unanimous. >> definitely something should be done about that. >> even if those examples are not representative of the broader state employee population, it's the kind of thing that leaves a mark and resonates with the voters. >> reporter: at usc's unruh institute of politics, a professor points out this story comes just one month after california voters were convinced the state was so broke, that a tax increase was necessary to pay for the beleaguered public school system. >> next time there's an initiative on the ballot here in los angeles or statewide, or the next time a viewer sees a story on your station about public employee benefits, they
6:34 pm
are going to remember this story. that's going to make them that much angrier. >> reporter: he says that can be translated into votes in next year's elections. >> in the next year or two you will see ballot initiatives local here in los angeles and on a statewide ballot designed to change the way public employee benefits and public employee pensions are done. >> reporter: which means, next year, voters will likely hear less about how poor the state is and more about how it got that way. at usc, randy paige, cbs 2 news. we have all heard the expression a penny for your thoughts? one state worker got a lot more than that and it came out of your pocket. a recent audit revealed the unnamed department of education employee spend the bulk of his time posting comments on the "sacramento bee"'s website. he posted nearly 5,000 of them in a year all during business hours. >> he is, you know, using the taxpayer's time to basically voice his opinions on, you know, whatever it was that he,
6:35 pm
you know, struck his fancy. >> when questioned, the worker claimed that he didn't have enough to do during the day to stay busy. he was never formally disciplined and continued to post until he eventually quit. the department has now installed software to restrict unauthorized employee activity on social media websites. a tumultuous day in michigan as the state's governor signed bills making it the nation's 24th "right to work" state. cbs reporter randall pinkston was in lansing as tens of thousands of union supporters protested at the state capital. >> reporter: police clashed with union supporters who are angry over new legislation that makes michigan a "right to work" state. >> one of them grabbed me by the head and another sprayed me in the face. >> reporter: from the floor to the rafters inside the capital building, protestors shouted, shame on you, as michigan's republican-controlled house passed the bill. >> this is what democracy looks like! >> reporter: union members fear
6:36 pm
it will hurt wages and benefits and set a resident nationwide. >> cheap labor not even a living wage i'm sure. can you live on $10 an hour? >> reporter: the new law means public and private sector workers don't have to pay union dues, while getting union representation. backers say it creates more jobs and gives workers more freedom. >> it is the principle that people should not be forced to join a union or any organization if they do not wish to. >> reporter: the demonstration did not die down even after lawmakers passed the legislation. [ screaming ] >> reporter: protestors swarmed rick snyder's office building tuesday demanding that he veto the bill. but the republican governor signed them into law. randall pinkston, cbs news, lansing, michigan. it's something we have heard again and again over the past four years. there just aren't enough job openings out there. >> i'm just floored that we're not deluged with people. >> why this job fair complete with the dancing bear may not
6:37 pm
be enough to staff one single bay area restaurant. >> and a sweet deal for anyone looking for holiday dungeness. who won and who lost in the great crab price dispute of 2012. [ laughter ] [ girl ] wow, you guys have it easy. i wish i had u-verse when i was your age. in my day, we didn't have these fancy wireless receivers.
6:38 pm

6:39 pm
means crab boats along the t will be heading back out tomorrow night. crabbers and the end of a price dispute means crab boats along the coast will be heading back out tomorrow night. crabbers and buyers have agreed to $3 a pound for dungeness. crab boats sat idle at their docks for six days during the price dispute. the strike was called after fish brokers dropped the price over slowing demand. but crabbers wanted $3 and they got it. a soon-to-open emeryville restaurant thought there would be a line of applicants around the block when it announced the hiring of about 100 employees. but as cbs 5 reporter patrick
6:40 pm
sedillo shows us, what they got was quite the opposite. >> very surprised. i didn't expect this at all. usually we have opened other black bears and usually black bear gets swamped with applicants. >> like normally how many? >> hundreds. >> reporter: the job fair for the black bear restaurant under construction in emeryville has been a disappointment for the last two days. >> i'm just floored that we're not being deluged with people. >> reporter: 120 jobs are available to those who want them but -- >> if we have reached 30 or 40 i'd be surprise. >> reporter: imagine that this black bear diner told me they only hired 20 out of the 40 applicants yesterday. this restaurant is scheduled to open next month and they might not be able to staff it. how long have you been out of a work? >> almost a year. >> reporter: she decided to stop by and try her luck. she saw the story on cbs 5 and is applying. >> anything, i mean, i can do grunt work or help out in the
6:41 pm
kitchen. >> if they have any trouble finding workers for their jobs they should call me. >> reporter: michael is a california job expert. he says what happened here is a failure of publicity. despite the dancing bear on the sidewalk. >> i still work with a lot of community groups. i will get them 200 people in the next -- within a week after they call me. >> reporter: make that 199. she getting a waitress job. >> i think i just got hired. i'm very excited. >> reporter: reporting from emeryville, patrick sedillo cbs 5. and from the cbs 5 weather center, good evening, it's back, it's our live high-def doppler radar. it's tracking the incoming rain with your pinpoint forecast. dennis? >> the 49ers lose another football player for the rest of the year. and the personal battle of a transgender shot at a new life on the court and off. coming up. ,,,,
